Excellent trophies. Welcome and congratulations on your success.

As I plan a return trip to SA, I am considering what rifles to bring. I am Leabing towards a .375 for the versatility. The rub is that I am a lefty. I have looked at a CZ, but wanted to check here to see if there were other/better options. If anyone has a left-handed .375 they are...

Thank you for the kind welcomes. Tax paid! I posted a report in the Hunting Reports section.

The trip ended with my missing a shot on a bushbuck at about 100 yards. There was a branch in the shooting lane that I did not see through the scope and that was enough to ruin the shot. It was an amazing opportunity, though, that presented itself only though Roche’s abilities to stalk and get...

I then came across a beautiful nyala. While a nyala was not on my wish list, I could not turn away when I saw this bull standing in the trees. It was an easy decision to begin the stalk and, with Roche’s guidance, I was able to get into position for a clean shot.

I arrived in camp in time for lunch. After a wonderful meal, we grabbed rifles and were off to the range to make sure that all was in order and to begin the hunt. Within about 40 minutes of sighting in the rifles, we were stalking a herd of impala with a nice ram in it. As we were tracking...

People hunt for any number of reasons. For me, one of the driving reasons is the ability to meet people and undertake adventures that I otherwise would never encounter. That is what first sparked my interest in hunting Africa. With little knowledge about key details, in February 2016, I went...

Having lurked and drawn as much knowledge from the site as I could, i wanted to become an active member so as to share experiences with this great community. In 2016, I had the opportunity to take my first hunting trip to South Africa. After a week at Roche Safaris, I was completely hooked...
